about me
I have had three books published so far and have three under consideration by publishers.
Reviewing: I will read your short and long pitches. If you grab me, I will read a chapter, possibly more if I like it, and I will comment. My review will be honest, and I do not flatter or play games, so if I say I like your work it's because I think it's good and saleable, not to gain your backing for my own.
I also have to write and work, so bear with me. For those reasons I also don't add or ask for friend links - sorry :)
